"Hier hebt gy nu verscheyde vis / Die wel smaakt als z' zijn op den dis" is a 16th to 18th century print by Johannes (II) Kannewet, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The piece is a detailed depiction of various types of fish, with each specimen carefully rendered and labeled with its Dutch name. The print likely served as a guide for identifying and understanding the different types of fish available in the Netherlands during this period, suggesting the printmaker's role as a fishmonger. The intricate detail and labeling of the artwork showcases the artistry and knowledge of natural history present in the period.
